In conversation with NJ hardcore punk band Kirkby Kiss

“As far as playing shows, it’s all about the energy. Of course you make music for yourself, but ultimately, you want people to hear it. You want people to come out because a show isn’t just about your songs—the band could play alone in a room if that were the case—it’s about the shared experience.”

The Maine returns to Jersey with its Sad Summer Festival and a new album

It’s so cool that we get to be a part of that.”

The ADD/ADHD medication shortage in NJ is disrupting lives 

“I feel like ADHD and other neurodivergent disorders get a bad rap. I feel like a lot of people don’t take it seriously. Even you have pharmacists who give you a dirty look when I’m upset that they don’t have my medication.”

Steve Rattner explains your life’s purpose for you

Rattner offers a grand solution to dissuade work-from-home arrangements: Housing. Why, he asks, have a big majority of European workers already returned to their offices? Simple, he says—most people there live in small apartments and houses, making stay-at-home work less comfortable. Voila!
